Non-Traditional Student Week

National Non-Traditional Student Week takes place the first week of November each
year. To celebrate Stony Brook University's adult learners, the Office of Commuter
Student Services holds our Lunch on Us event, and actively promotes our Driving Force efforts (see
below). In addition to this week in November, Stony Brook also recognizes adult learners
again in the spring semester, typically in early April. Please check back for specific
dates.

During Non-Traditional Student Week, our partners in the Faculty Student Association
and Campus Dining often offer discounts and/or coupons to celebrate the occasion.
Our office also conducts contests during this week for great prizes!

Non-Traditional Orientation Session

The Office of Orientation and Family Programming and the Office of Off-Campus Living
have worked together to develop a comprehensive Orientation session, during Part II
of Orientation. This session approaches topics from the point of view of a returning
student, while also incorporating the required content that all new students must
fulfill.

Incoming undergraduates over the age of 24, as well as veterans, are directly invited
to attend during their Orientation process. However, if a student self-identifies
as a non-traditional student/adult learner, they may be able to register, as well.
